    Such I great post I hate to see it buried in the soapbox

    The Leo post is fine and DOES have to do with expediting. It is also not a baiting post. It stays where it is.

    Not to be harsh, but with that kind of question, are you sure you should be buying a truck at all? Not the time to jump in if you don't have a full assessment of what you are getting into. I would advise some major reading through these forums.

    Nogales AZ

    We did a load down there a week ago from MI and we got a load out of Tucson. May depend on what carrier your with. They do loads as well right out of Nagalas.

    Why don't people get it?

    Redistribution of wealth as described equals a mandated welfare program. If one takes taxes from the top tier and gives them to the ones that pay nothing, it is still a welfare program. If one is satisfied with the results of the current welfare system, then they likely will see opportunity...

    Is PantherFOR ME

    I would additionally review many of the posts over the last year with both. That gives you a better foundation in which to ask questions. The more drivers you talk to and the more you read the better informed you will be. You may want to also attend a workshop where you can talk to reps from...

    No freight!!!

    Can't argue that. What Bush originally wanted, didn't make it through. That is where all the extra add-on garbage came from to get it passed. You are right on one thing. Both parties should be ashamed of such a pathetic piece of legislation. I am beginning to think I should have ran:eek:

    No freight!!!

    A change in the capital gains computations could be problematic for many expediters. Depending on how a truck was purchased and depreciated, this could generate a significant financial hit for someone exiting and not repurchasing another vehicle. If there is a gain on that vehicle, it sounds...

    No freight!!!

    No not exactly. There hasn't been anything of value from the Congress that one could sign. That is a partial reason for their lowest ever approval rating. The person in charge whether Bush or someone else has little to do with it. He can either approve or veto a bill but that is it. If it is...

    No freight!!!

    I don't particularly care who is voted in because I really don't like either one. But it amazes me me the short memory that some have. Just about everyone prospered under Bush until the Congress became a democratic majority. I don't recall anyone complaining 4 years ago that the economy was in...

    No freight!!!

    Regardless of who wins, same issue is still there. Can't tax yourself into prosperity. Amazing how some can complicate the simple.

    No freight!!!

    I could be wrong, but I don't recall a single country that taxed itself into prosperity

    How's Business Recently?

    I would say Panther got into heavy diversification back when they started Elite. Not really seeing much auto freight unless it is off the border. As far as Cat, I don't believe Panther is the exclusive carrier, but we did a load last week for them. As for business, 3 quarters of the year so...

    Midwest Expediting Good bad and the ugly,tell me please

    Not seeing the good or the bad, just the ugly. Tell him to come on EO and do a little research BEFORE he becomes another industry casualty.

    Looking to raise van roof, rear doors

    May want to PM Terry O' Connell. I believe on one of his vans he had a Turtle top. Maybe installed in St. Louis?

    Turbo3000D

    Have to agree with the others. When I see it on a manufacturers engine, then I would give it another look. Until then, it belongs on the shelve with the brake lube and blinker fluid.

    My intent was never to upset the board

    Doug I believe your question was answered. It has nothing to do with whether a specific post was pulled or not. With being here just a couple of months you might be well served to go back and reread some of your last posts. Sometimes it isn't what you say, it is how you say it. Or, how...

    Fleet owners and home time

    Phil wrote No fleet owner did this, and we never asked, but it would have helped if the fleet owners told us what kind of revenue and expenses the fleet owner needed to see to be profitable with us in the truck. If we knew from the numbers that we were pulling our weight, we might have felt...
